PuddleMama and I had our second prenatal appointment today. And like the old story goes, the sequel didn't quite live up to the original.
Unfortunately, we came up short on our bid to hear the heartbeat ("came up short on our bid" <--- can you tell I've been watching a little bit too much Olympics.) It is apparently very common to not be able to find the heartbeat this early, the little bug being only the size of a plum. The physician told us some of her colleagues won't even try this early, in fear of upsetting overly hormonal, gassy, pregneant ladies. We were happy with the attempt and are looking to train hard for a comeback in 4 weeks (we'll settle for nothing less than gold!)
Anyway, PuddleMama's insides did generate some quite fantastic static (no wonder she's been a bit gassy- who wouldn't with all that static inside!)
Weight, blood pressure, and all the other vitals were looking fabulous, with only a small warning flag coming up around PuddleMama's immunity to German Measles. Keep your sick kid away! One more thing to add to the no-no list: alcohol, caffeine, undercooked meats, and now little rug-rats with German Measles.
Gotta go- Phelps is about to swim!
